I was hoping to do a practical today, but couldn't book a room where the gas worked. Try these activities looking at what we've covered so far this year -

  • Physics skate park - What types of energy can you see?
  • Thingdom - What gets randomly given to offspring when the things reproduce?
  • There are lots of good activities on this link, try whatever you like.
  • In this game, you have to build a city that saves energy.
  • In Pandemic, you play as a disease and have to infect everybody in the world!
  • There are also lots of activities here to do with the human body.
  • There are also some good activities on the channel 4 site.
You can also watch any of the videos posted in this site if you want to.

Today you're going to either work on P9/10 for physics, or P6 for Biology. Physics is below thiss post, Biology is here:
You need to explain three things are that humans do to affect the environment. You will summarise these on a poster in three sections:
Make sure you include what they are, how they are caused and what effects they have.
